 Allright, so you arent quite using the same listings as the core book then. You arent going to merge weight/contents, are you? That would probably cause more problems than it would solve...

 Also of interesting note, both the C-rations(and comparable meals) and the Russian field rations appear to be written up as civilized meals.

[Funk]

Russian field rations and C-rations are meant to be cooked and eaten in the field so there Long Life Food Field Ration Food.
Long Life Food is the wrong name its gives the idea that it's storage food when it more the category of food you take with you.
Think hard tack instead of bread.

A am not going to merge the weight/contents of your food, i'll just count your days worth of food.

I remember there was this really bad ass looking MMO that was coming out, Twilight War: After the Fall. The author was someone who went by "Paladin". There are several factions one of them was kind of a Silicon Valley tech military. Another one was the Brotherhood which was mutants. I think even aliens were involved. And even dinosaurs I think. There was a rampaging biker gang like lot(like Mad Max of course). I remember it pretty vividly. My avatar was a zebra on that website hehe.

(GPaladin...?)

 Not really anything to cook in the Russian one, they are a bit sparse.

Would us being a mixture of NATO and Warsaw Pact be alright? Because I'm thinking of being a US Marine Automatic Rifleman.

A mixture is ok, i just don't want a team of nato solders all armed with aks.

 Well, cant have that, you already got an ex-pact trooper.

My initially pretty good stats went downhill while I waited for this war to start. War trigger was consistently 1 above what I needed for the last 3 terms.

Anyway, if my gal is a doctor but is also a reservist when war breaks out, do they become an Officer (Doctor) or return to their old gig?
In other words, do I count them as draftee or recalled reservist?

[Funk]

The rules say
"At the time war finally breaks out, any character who are or previously have been medical doctors will receive a direct commission as a captain in the medical corps (P35)"
So your a captain but,
"Civilian character who receive direct commissions as medical officers or engineers are treated as draftees(P24)"
So you're war term counts as a draftee for promotion.
Does that all make sense to you?

[Cain12]

Durr, yes thanks. 

[Aseaheru]

 Being the remains of a MASH unit would make for an interesting game...

 Also, Im a tad worried about the lack of skills on my part. I had intended on getting my character out and be a reservist, but failed my war roll.

[Slick]

Okay do any of you know where I'm supposed to go to create a character in the PDF because I'm constantly rechecking the Table of Contents, an I still can't quite figure out where I'm suppose to find everything.

Eh it's not like i'm checking your rolls.

[Aseaheru]

 Page 268 has the condensed form of most of the process. You will still need to head back to the text-o-fluff for some of it, but its a nice checklist.
